The Star Citizen Foundation Festival is an annual in-game event that allows players, both new and returning, to experience the game for free for a limited time5. It aims to strengthen community participation by offering various perks, promotions, and a free-fly event. The festival also introduces an expanded new player experience and a Guide System to connect veteran players with newcomers, providing rewards for both during the event.

Star Citizen is free to play from 12-19th July during the Foundation Festival event. This event introduces an expanded new player experience and a Guide System to connect veteran pilots with newcomers.

The Guide System in Star Citizen connects veteran pilots with newcomers to aid them on their space-faring journey, providing support and assistance to new and returning players. This system is especially helpful during the Foundation Festival, where participants can earn bonus rewards and ensures all citizens are flight-ready for new releases, such as the Pyro system.
